The Morgantown Dominion Post reported on the front page this morning that the student who broke into the chemistry building at 2:15 AM on Saturday night faces two felony charges.- breaking and entering and destruction of property. The WVU University News Service said "damage included chemical spills of organic solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate, hexanes, and chloroform along with other chemicals such as mercury, iodine, silica gel, sodium carbonate and charcoal. Some chemical waste containers were also smashed." The news article reported "five laboratories on the fourth floor were closed until further notice. Cleanup is progressing."
